Shirley never imagined that a lump on her ankle would lead to such a devastating diagnosis of spindle cell sarcoma, a rare malignant tumour
Despite feeling “a little bit cheated”, as her parents lived until their 90s, Shirley was undaunted. She refused to let the diagnosis get in the way of her achieving her goal, and in June 2023, she danced with her husband at a friend’s wedding., Hertfordshire, with her husband, Lawrence, 76, a retired chartered surveyor. In July 2022, she got her first warning sign when she experienced pain in her right ankle and noticed a lump.
The doctor suggested that the only option for Shirley was to have her leg amputated. “As he said those words, I felt shocked and disbelief,” said Shirley. Shirley underwent the surgery on October 24, 2022, at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore,. Determined to look to the future, Shirley focused on recovering but could not help but feel that she had lost some independence.
While undergoing physiotherapy, Shirley made it her goal to be able to dance at her friend’s wedding with her husband. She said: “My husband and I always loved dancing – he joked that we’ll be doing a jive, but I said maybe a slow waltz.”cancer
